LIVE JAM 08 (Out Now!)

[Keef]

OK thanks for answering Andrew. Do u plan on doing any of the special teams? Like the all-stars and legends?

[Andrew]

Andrew, how about the special characters?
only in the free agent pool?
or their in a add-on team?

I'm still deciding exactly how I'm going to work that but KidJustin has provided me with some art for a special characters team so it's certainly a possibility. As of today, they're only in the Free Agents pool.

OK thanks for answering Andrew. Do u plan on doing any of the special teams? Like the all-stars and legends?

Right now, there'll be a Legends team and possibly a team of special characters. Additional teams are something that might be added in subsequent releases or add-on packs.

[Keef]

Wow you answer quick . Looking forward to playing this

[.PorkyJoker.o6]

Oooh. Thanks Andrew good luck on this great project!

[George7]

So, if we can find art for special characters team,they won't be FAs.

[KidJustin]

George7, i got the art already done

well logo and jersey art...

we just need CF art

[Andrew]

So, if we can find art for special characters team,they won't be FAs.

No, they'll be available in the Free Agents no matter what. The idea is that they'll be available to use on any of the NBA teams if you like (similar to using a code to play with the secret characters in the original games) or play against them to simulate the one-on-one boss battles of the new NBA Jam. However, we could perhaps also have a team comprised of a selection of the special characters (probably none of the former NBA greats since they'll already appear as the NBA Legends team; just the non-NBA special characters).

[George7]

Andrew, that's better

[Murat]

hey guys, i'm a complete novice at creating cyberfaces, but i decided to post pics of my Kanye West CF (on the list of possible special characters for the project). feel free to criticize, give pointers on how i could make it better.

Kanye West:







note: this is my first cyberface ever, so please don't judge too harshly

This is really good. No judgement.

[javierrr13]

Thanks man, it means a lot

Andrew, I made the head normal-sized and kinda fixed the sunglasses, I could send it to you if you find it LiveJam-worthy

[Andrew]

Sure, I'd appreciate it. If you've still got the big headshape, please send that long too so I can substitute it in if we end up including that feature. Thanks!

Any chance you can take a shot at some of the others on the list?

[javierrr13]

yeah, i'd love to

[Andrew]

Awesome, sounds good.

And thanks again for the Kanye update!

[javierrr13]

preview of my next special character, The Lakers' #1 fan....

Jack Nicholson:









I know there's something(s) I need to fix on this one, I just can't put a finger on it
Anyways, review please, all constructive criticism is welcome

[Keef]

LOL your really good dude. You just need a few more wrinkles (if that's possible) and his face is really angular and straight if you know what i mean? I dunno if you can fix that but still really good job bro

[joemmel]

you're goooooooooooooood men!
you have a future ion creating special characters

[Alpha_]

holy smokes.. ur really good..

[javierrr13]

wow, thanks guys! your feedback really helps

LOL your really good dude. You just need a few more wrinkles (if that's possible) and his face is really angular and straight if you know what i mean? I dunno if you can fix that but still really good job bro

i think i know what you're talking about, yeah, i can add a couple wrinkles from nose to corners of mouth, and try to make the head more round-ish. thanks for the tips!

[Andrew]

That's awesome! I'll have to follow Jeff Van Gundy's suggestion and name him just "Jack" in the rosters though.

[KidJustin]

javierrr13, you are NBA LIVE JAM's savior! the chosen one!

all of you first attempts have been flawless! and will really help make this project shine!

i never thought we'd have a special character CF patchers with more people interested in real nba players. keep up the good work

[Healer2k]

woah...nice CF man...
im waiting on ur nxt preview...

[javierrr13]

Thanks, all! Yeah, I like to patch special characters. There's already many talented patchers who can patch real NBA players
And I think I'm gonna start previewing more characters (probably 4) at a time, so this thread won't be flooded with pics

[Andrew]

Whatever you feel comfortable with doing, but you really don't have to worry about that. I think we're all excited to see this come together and the new stuff you're working on, so if you do want to post multiple previews as you go then that's completely fine.

[KidJustin]

this MOD is going to be epic!

Andrew, how are u going to go about creating the special characters stats anyways?



...any interest from the team about creating a NLSC team?
javierrr13, up for making CF's of people?

[Andrew]

Pretty much just make them stars across the board according to the new ranges I'm using for the ratings (ie no one is rated lower than 50 for anything). That's basically how they were handled in the original Jam games.
